Features: We must become a part of an ever-changing world. In the midst of change, there must be some kind of belief—even when things get worse. Just like when I traveled by horse-drawn carriage, I often moved from a comfortable position to a new one, constantly getting scraped in the process. If we never change direction, we might eventually just drift with the tide. No one wants to initiate change, but once it starts, everyone wants a say. Change is like a strong wind—it brings boundless imagination but can also give you a headache. Looking at successful modern organizations, they all share a common characteristic: continuous change. This shows that change is a crucial success factor for businesses to stand firm. This book combines numerous examples of successful and failed corporate transformations to explain how to effectively manage change during the organizational process.
